Angling Wayne is trolling back again!
By Mike Simonson, Wisconsin Public Radio
BAYFIELD (WPR) The founder of Big Top Chautauqua has been released from the Bayfield County Jail. And Warren Nelson says he’s already got plans to make a comeback after separating from his old organization.
Things came to a head for Nelson last year. After starting Big Top Chautauqua 25 years earlier, he was forced to leave the Big Top after misdemeanor convictions of resisting arrest, disorderly contact, battery and fourth degree sexual assault. After being released from jail June 18th after nine and a half months on the Huber Law, Nelson says he wants to move on. He says he’s paid his public debt, and has made apologies “two miles deep to everybody.”
But Nelson says part of his public comeback includes talking about his battle with alcoholism and jail time. He says being off the booze since September has turned things around for him, but makes no excuses.
Later this week, he’ll release a 12 song CD called “Song in Your Hat” with his new band “The Nelson Outfit”. Soon, he hopes to being touring.
